PARADOXISM is an avant-garde movement in literature, art, philosophy, science,
based on excessive used of antitheses, antinomies, contradictions, parables,
odds, anti-clichés, deviations of senses, against-the-grain speech, nonsense,
paraphrases, paradoxes, semiparadoxes,
etc. in creations.
It was set up and led by the writer
Florentin Smarandache since 1980's, who
said: "The goal is to enlargement of the artistic sphere through non-artistic
elements. But especially the counter-time, counter-sense creation. Also, to
experiment."
